Did you enjoy sweet things when you were a child?
Yes, absolutely, I did. In fact, I was quite passionate about sweet treats as a child. Every time my parents took me to the local market on 'market day,' I would always demand jello or candy. It was something I looked forward to immensely. Additionally, special occasions like Chinese New Year and weddings were especially exciting for me because they were the times when sweet treats seemed to be in endless supply. I remember the thrill of spotting colorful candies mixed with peanuts and sunflower seeds; it felt like a real feast for a kid.

When do people in your country eat special cakes or sweet things?
I think people typically enjoy special cakes and sweet treats on various significant occasions, such as weddings, birthday parties, and festivals like the Chinese New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival. For example, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it’s customary to find mooncakes on the dinner table at family reunions. These mooncakes come in a variety of flavors, adding to the festive atmosphere. On birthdays, people either make or buy a birthday cake to celebrate the occasion with the birthday girl or boy. These occasions provide a perfect opportunity for families and friends to come together and enjoy delicious sweets. But to be honest, most Chinese don’t have a sweet tooth, so eating sweets is sort of considered an indulgence.

Have you ever made a cake yourself?
No, I haven't. The process seems quite complicated, involving flour, sugar, and a multitude of other ingredients. I simply lack both the patience and motivation for it as I find it challenging to, for instance, make the perfect dough or combine ingredients, which seem to have the need to be exactly measured, let alone manage all the steps involved.

How often do you eat something sweet after a meal?
To be honest, these days only occasionally, though sometimes I do crave something sweet after a meal. I guess the sweetest craving I have at times is for a mochaccino, but sometimes I opt for a dessert, or I might get a cup of hot chocolate from the convenience store near the campus canteen. Other times, I buy bubble tea after lunch. However, I know it's not very healthy, so I try to limit these sweet treats.
